Pink jasmine perfumes our patio with a heady scent.

Freesias add their sweet aroma to the air.

The Panamint nectarine and Katy apricot are loaded with blossoms this year. Surely we will be able to salvage some of the fruit from the possums, raccoons, and other raiders of night.

The avocado is loaded with blossoms too. Fruit set is never as impressive as the blossoms would suggest though.

Even the Santa Rosa plum is putting on a show this year. We normally get NO plums. The critters always beat me to the 2-3 that set fruit. I am more hopeful this year.

I planted some perennial flowers along the front walkway.

The Garden of Infinite Neglect is in full bloom with a freesia border. The veggie garden itself is, well, neglected.

We have had orchids in bloom on the back deck and patio since January. The second batch of blooms is just now opening up.

It is such a joy to have such beautiful flowers.

We are being inundated with bok choy. I planted a six-pack of Joi Choi and it is rewarding us with bountiful greens.

I am down to the last few avocados. Incredibly enough, we are still harvesting a bell pepper or two as well. And the hens are inundating us with eggs, up to 28 a week!

This is Henrietta, our sweet Black Australorp. She is our oldest hen, and is still laying.

Scrambled eggs with avocado and black beans on a whole wheat flour and corn tortilla. Yum!

Or, how about fried cornmeal mush with maple syrup, fried eggs, and oranges right off our tree?

Did someone say ORANGES? This is what was left AFTER we took a bag down to our son Scott for Easter.

And these are the limes that we have left AFTER taking some down to Scott and family. Time to squeeze and freeze.
